Stocktwits Scraper

📈 Stocktwits data for market research

Stocktwits Scraper helps traders, analysts, and researchers collect current public Stocktwits messages, user posts, and ranked trending symbols. It returns source sentiment, a separate text sentiment label, author and market context in structured dataset rows for market research and downstream analysis.

• Stocktwits Sentiment Analysis compares Stocktwits labels with the separate text sentiment label.
• Use Stocktwits API to start Actor runs and download structured rows.
• Build a message dataset with Stocktwits Dataset for text, symbols, authors, and source links.
• Collect current posts from public accounts with Stocktwits User Posts.
• Export the ranked current symbol list with Stocktwits Trending Symbols.
• Review public author fields in message rows with Stocktwits Author Analysis.

📦 Stocktwits messages and trending symbols

Message rows contain message text, publication time, source sentiment, a text-based sentiment label, cashtags, mentions, public author fields, media, conversation details, and optional price-target fields. Trending-symbol rows contain ranked symbol identity, watchlist context, source trend fields, and market classification.

Some source values can be null or empty when Stocktwits does not provide them. When the same message is found through more than one symbol or username, the Actor saves the first eligible match and skips later matches. matchedInput shows the symbol or username that first found that saved message.

❓ FAQ

What happens when I leave a work limit empty?

The Actor returns all available messages or trending symbols until the relevant public source is exhausted.

What does matchedInput mean?

It is the first symbol or username that found a saved message. If another value finds the same message later, that later match is skipped. Trending messages have null because they are not tied to a symbol or username.

What happens when Stocktwits leaves out a value?

The field can be null or empty. The Actor does not invent missing source facts.

Does source sentiment appear on every message?

No. sourceSentiment is present when the author added a Bullish or Bearish label. computedSentiment is a separate positive, neutral, or negative label based on the message text.

Can I collect posts from a Stocktwits user?

Yes. Choose user and enter public usernames without the @ sign.

Which mode should I choose?

Use symbol for current public messages for submitted tickers, user for current public posts from submitted usernames, trending for current market-wide trending messages, trending-streams for recent messages from trending tickers, and trending-symbols for the ranked public trending-symbol list.

Does this provide a full Stocktwits archive?

No. It collects current public data exposed by the chosen Stocktwits source. It does not promise a full historical archive.

Is the data a trading recommendation?

No. The Actor returns source data and text sentiment. It does not give trading advice or predict prices.
